Minchiate Tarot Playing Card, Stencil-Colored Woodblock Print

A hand-colored card shows a standing male figure in a red and green tunic with yellow sleeves, wearing a plumed headdress, with red hose and green-edged cloak held at his sides. Red and vermilion dots scatter across a pale ground, with the top corners marked by small decorative squares and a border of simple lettering.
